Cardinals sign former Chargers RT Joe Barksdale

That was fast. In a matter of 50 hours, the Arizona Cardinals scooped up former Chargers right tackle Joe Barksdale. Barksdale had not been playing nearly as much for the Chargers in recent weeks. Even after his return from injury, he never fully regained his starting spot back. The Cardinals needed a lineman as they just placed former first round selection D.J. Humprhries on injured reserve.

Barksdale was released for personal reasons, According to head coach Anthoyn Lynn:

“It’s not a good time to do something like that, but we thought it was best for Joe and best for the Chargers,” Chargers coach Anthony Lynn said, via Sam Fortier of The Athletic. “We thought it was best.”

Lynn did say they were in an amicable place after discussing Barksdale release. He mentioned both sides were in a good place. Not even two full days later, Barksdale gets another chance to start. Best of luck to Barksdale.
